BuybackOf SharesChapter 13Recommendations & FindingsWhat should you look at before participating in buybacks?Ever since the buyback of shares was allowed in India, there has beena lot of confusion among shareholders; as whether to sell-off theirstake in the company or to retain it. To opt for a particular option is notas easy as it appears. The perception of the shareholders about thefuture of the company is the most important factor that influencestheir decision.However, that decision may not be accurate since they might not havecomplete access to the internal and external strategies of thecompany. A lot of careful thought has to be given before a finaldecision is taken. Here’s a way on how to go about it.Debt-equity ratio is an important criterion. The companieshaving high debt burden are unlikely to have free cash. They shouldprefer redeeming their debt first, to buying back equity. MNCshaving subsidiaries in India are unlikely to have any motive ofrigging up the share price and their buyback offer is likely to begenuine.Track record of raising capital in the past. Companies thathave frequented the capital markets to raise money are unlikely tobe good candidates for buyback.BuybackOf SharesLook at ROCE/RONW-The companies with consistently highROCE/RONW are more likely to have free cash than others.Checkout the previous price pattern of the shareCompanies generally tend to buyback shares at a higher premiumover the market price if they feel that their shares are under-priced.This decision to buyback often leads to an increase in share price.At this stage, you have to analyse the fluctuation in the price of thescrip for a specific time period (say one year) and if you find thatthe scrip moved a band lower than the offer price, selling of thescrip would be a better option.Take note of Irrationality A buyback offer with a hugepremium may appear very attractive. Investigate and ensure thatany temporary negatives do not affect the share price. If you feelthat the share prices of the company are presently undervalued,refrain from selling, since a company buying back its shares isindirectly conveying that its shares are undervalued.Take a long-term perspective It would be difficult toenvisage whether a company would issue bonus or split shares ormake an acquisition. But these factors can be sidelined if thefundamentals of the company are strong and you expect thecompany to perform well in the future. Therefore, in the long-termperspective, the scripts of such companies should not be sold.Dispose off volatile shares Despite strong fundamentals,the shares of a few companies are highly volatile and exhibit wildoscillation in prices. If you want to play it safe and avoid volatility,selling out would be a better option.BuybackOf SharesSelling off for profit The first question that comes to mindonce you decide to sell your scrip is whether to opt for a buyback orto sell it in the market. Even after buyback is announced, thepurchase price need not necessarily be the highest if a price band isgiven. Further, there is no guarantee that all the shares offered forbuyback would be bought. Companies mostly buy about 10% of theequity in buybacks. In such cases it would be wiser to sell yourstake in the market at a time when prices of your scrip are trading at a price equivalent to the highest in the offer band.Finally, one should keep one thing in mind, that buyback has no impacton the fundamentals of the company or on the economy. The onlything is that one should be cautious of unscrupulous promoters' trapsand do not fall prey to them.The provision to allow buyback can be a booty for long-term investorswho want to stick on in good companies, but it can be a terrible bait inmany others
